To open a market to US exports. FDR recognized the USSR (a recognition of a de facto state of affairs as, by the 1930s, there was no serious opposition to the government of the USSR) in 1933.

The Soviet Union, after WW II, was a ruthless totalitarian state which had taken advantage of its military position after the war, in which its armies had been sent far into Europe in order to fight the Third Reich, to take over all of eastern Europe and to install puppet regimes that were supported by the Soviet military.
